Definition: In musical notation, a "baldaquin" is a type of musical note that represents a single measure or part of a piece of music. It is often used as a way to indicate an extended section, such as a solo, a trio, or a quartet. The term "baldaquin" is derived from the Latin word "baldaquinus," which means "a small drum." The name itself seems to be derived from the Greek word "ba-dal", which means
what should be said.
